What's blooming at Unger Farm


My husband and I stopped by Unger Farm on our way through Bucyrus on Wednesday, so I could show him the volunteer work the Master Gardeners have been doing on the demonstration plots there.

We were very careful to follow Steve's warning to "stay out of the garden when it's wet" by sticking to grassy or mulched areas.

Mid-summer blooming flowers such as this echinacea are glorious now. Many of the plants at the farm are labeled as to variety. There is also a kiosk with flyers displaying the named varieties of the perennial plants at the farm.



Can you name the plants in the photos below?
Feel free to leave comments on the blog.































Here is our demonstration vegetable garden. There are several tomato varieties, and cole crops such as cabbage, broccoli, and swiss chard.




The orchard has several varieties of disease resistant apples. Two that are especially recommended are Redfree and Gold Rush.


















There are several varieties of annual flowers near the road.












There are also many perennial flowers.


There is a culinary herb garden with several out-of-the ordinary herbs.
